There's a "mods" folder in the main directory for darkest hour.
place all the "ai" "map" and "gfx" folders inside a folder name of your choosing, and put it in the mods folder.

I don't think it was right that Dr. Mobius fucked with the rest of the Think Tanks minds. He says it was to protect the wastes from them and their experiments, but it definitely seems more wrong to fuck over your friends, rather than letting them do what they'd enjoy doing.

Sure, Joe Wastelander might get lobotomized, but if the Think Tank were my bros IRL, I'd be all for letting them use the Mohave as their testing grounds. It's much better to see your friends happy, and doing what they love.

Mobius is the worst friend.

The minds were already fucked after they got separated from their bodies and lost all sense of morality, they wre basicaly just machines made to invent shit for no fucking reason
so that's why mobius had to keep them in check

>>153840290
Just because your friends are crazy, doesn't mean you need to stop them. I don't think it's likely they'd get hurt, as they could probably think of a way to kill everything that would threaten them, so why not let them go nuts if that's what they wanna do? Why put the Mohave above your own friend's enjoyment? Doesn't matter if they're crazy, so long as they are safe and enjoying their life.

Can anyone explain how trapping Elijah in the vault works?

How can he not get out? I thought he was the one who activated the forcefields.

The elevator only reacts to Vera's voice, which he doesn't have.

Why does Ulysses have all 10 Specials? I get that means nothing in terms of his character, but it seems rather peculiar to me.

>>153844438
To make him a difficult boss fight, sort of like the final "epic" confrontation with a Courier who is your match, allegedly.

Does anyone know where I can listen to the his radio dialogue after you trap him? I just read ti, but I'd really like to hear it, if anyone can assist.

I like to believe that Vault 69 and the other vault where the men outnumbered the woman were actually pretty civilized.

The overseer probably selected who was going to breed with the respective male/female and eventually everything went back to normal once the population of females/males began to even out.

This is glorious

does bonus HtH damage affect melee weapons or just unarmed?

Now that I discovered how easy it is to get weapon repair kits after Dead Money, what's even the point of repair besides skill checks that other skills can usually alternatively do, most likely?

>>153848605
mostly just repairing shit in your inventory more efficiently
You could always craft weapon repair kits in the game and your repair skill augments how effective the kits are.

>>153848605
Good luck repairing Power Armor.

Which is really easy if you know how to play caravan, Dale Barton is a dang fool.

He could always download the Armour Kit mod, that adds a slightly altered Weapon Kit recipe to the game for repairing apparel.

No family connection to Shaun. I know Bethesda's Fallouts have a weird obsession with family, but it didn't add much to the story besides giving the Institute a reason to trust you. No pre-war protagonist, either - I don't even know what that was supposed to contribute. I can go into more detail, but I figure you only want the salient points.

The Institute, Railroad, and Brotherhood and their mutual conflict are all solid concepts. The Minutemen don't really add anything to the story; they're basically Independent without any of the good parts.

I don't mind much of the rest of Fallout 4. I think the world doesn't have enough love put into it, but that's not what this question is about.

>>153849352
Be Shaun's brother/sister instead of mother/father.
Or aunt/uncle. Or teacher. Or boy-scout leader.

Anything but mother/father. It forces a connection between player and storyline that you can't just drop like it's nothing and it makes a lot of the game make little sense, like why the fuck are you spending weeks looking for bottlecaps or searching for that one crashed alien ship instead of looking for your son.

Hell I'd much rather have no family connection at all to any NPC.

>>153849352
I think the main storyline of FO4 is shit, but it REALLY is the very least of its problem.
Here's just some random points of ideas I have
-Stop trying to find stupid fucking reasons to have the games start in vaults
-Stop doing family shit
-Fix up the factions and their motives just a bit
-That one quest with Nick and Dogmeat was fucking stupid
That's all I have. I couldn't finish the main story.

To be honest the story in Fallout 4 isn't bad. It's borderline pretty good. The biggest issue being Bethesda forcing upon us the family connection once again, something which has nothing to do in a RPG.

I also would like Bethesda to stop forcing characters who came from vaults, seems like just a lazy excuse for the player to get a Pip-Boy at the start. Also, the pre-war part of the MC brought absolutely nothing to the story,

I think a bit of factions rework, reworking entirely the first part of the story by removing the "find your son" shit and replacing it with anything else, and giving a bit of love to the game world would do a good storyline.

>>153858653
I thought we were making up non canonical vaults

>>153858787
Its the continuation of stupid shit which shouldn't have been present in the first place.

To fix Fallout 4, you basically have to discard/retcon all the stupid changes in 3.

>>153858796
No? He said post vaults and game ideas. Nothing suggests that it wouldn't be canon.

We're just making non-canonical vaults.

Besides, 120 can be retconned away. Sooner or later Bethesda will exhaust the number of Vaults, especially if they cluster them all in like a mile's radius of each other near a city.

They introduced the idea of unnumbered Vaults and named Vaults in Nuka World as a back-up plan though.

Like what? Fallout 4 is more or less independant of 3's lore.

>>153859248
Are you dumb? Do you know how many throwback references and plot continuations F4 has which started with 3?

>>153859147
Zenimax are based

>>153859369
They have no great influence on 4. They managed to discard the whiteknights Brotherhood, the Enclave and the purifier are almost never referenced.

4 inherits some of 3's design decisions like the wrecked world, but excluding the Brotherhood none of 3's lore has a deep impact on 4's storyline.

>>153858193

Call me dense but I never realized that.

Was anyone else heartbroken at fo4? The happiest years of my life were spent playing New Vegas, it felt like losing a child.

>>153863992
Nah, I kinda expected it.

I mean it's a fun game for like 1 playthrough, in fact it's probably the only Bethsoft game where I only played as 1 character and never made another one.
It really hardly has any replay ability, and the DLC's are so terrible it makes me wonder what they're smoking.

But really, I noticed that instead of doing their own thing, Bethesda has been trying to copy other developers, like Bioware and Blizzard. Kinda sad really, I bet TES6 is gonna be pretty atrocious, but not financially of course, they have a pretty big fanbase of simple people so it's not really a concern to them.

>>153858787
>I also would like Bethesda to stop forcing characters who came from vaults, seems like just a lazy excuse for the player to get a Pip-Boy at the start.

I think it has less to do with that and more to do with the fact that the story benefits greatly if the protagonist, like the player, is unfamiliar with the setting. Fallout 1, 3 and 4 did this by making the protagonist's previous life be contained to a vault, Fallout 2 did it by making the protagonist a member of a remote village, and Fallout New Vegas did it by making the protagonist a professional wanderer a long way from home.

1, 3 and 4 are both, I think, designed as if they were the player's introduction to the franchise, while 2 and NV introduce you to the specifics of the setting but sort of assume you have at least a basic idea of what the Fallout world is like, as the Chosen One or Courier would. Bethesda probably wants to design all of their Fallouts towards newcomers to the franchise, so I'd be very surprised if we ever got a lead from them that isn't from a vault at least.

So, what's the best starting build for someone new to fallout 1?

>>153865323
Anything with Speech, shit's pretty overpowered and you can *spoilers* beat the final boss through a speech check
Make sure to consider both Skilled and Gifted traits because they're also overpowered.

>>153865551
Thanks!

What about Special?

Tag Small Guns and Speech. Most people recommend Lockpick, Science or *maybe* Doctor for your third, but frankly, it's a gravy tag.

Gifted is so useful I consider it broken but will allow you to make mistakes with your SPECIAL build. I don't recommend Skilled, unlike >>153865551, because you'll want perks to spare in case you screw up your selection.

You'll want to put points in agility and intelligence if you want to do anything useful in combat or dialogue, respectively.

>>153865710
full agility and intelligence while sacrificing charisma. Pick Gifted to add +1 to all Special.

This is done to move more and add more skill points. Tag Speech and sneak and you'll get through the whole game fine. works almost the same way for fallout 2 but less so.

>>153865710
Max agility, dump charisma, make sure Int is at least 4.
If you plan on using ranged weapons, you'll want a perception of at least 8.
If you'd rather play melee or unarmed you want 8 in strength.
High luck is good in either case.

>>153866440

also save backup files in case you get fucked over. In fallout 2 there be a military base you can get stuck in with no way out. So have an extra save before you enter a map area.

>>153865551
>>153865323
Actually i think skilled is pretty shit if youply high INT (like you should), not worth giving up OP perks for a few skill points. But yeah gifted is OP and small frame is the next best perk for me (just be sure to travel with a companion/pack mule)
The most useful skills by far are
1. small guns (switch to energy/big guns for the late game, energy are more powerful and practical, big guns can be devastating with the right build)
2. speech
3. lockpick

Pre-war protagonist could of been cool if they had capitalized on it instead of being lazy. Have your character get nostalgic and a little sad about locations they knew Pre war in the post. Example. When discovering a restaurant. "Oh I remember this place. Me and Nora had our first date here" to emphasize just how much their world changed or in some cases ended.

>>153875589

Science. You at least give him the option of using his genius for good. It's not your fault he chooses suicide.

That said, not siding with him and getting dipped? And then, when the Enclave inevitably emerge to deal with this threat to their long-term goals (killing all the humans means no test subjects for FEV), not leading a Super Mutant army against the technological might of the Enclave in a glorious war that ends with your mutual death with Frank Horrigan, and the Enclave solidified as the new order of the world?

A heavily butchered version of the Eagle has Landed and/or God Bless the Enclave in the CK, both of which allows you to grow up in the Enclave and have the skeleton of an alternate MQ (but both are incomplete, so it's better to disable them after the intro, and just ignore finding James), a companion mod of the Lone Wanderer, Enclave Commander, and then just role play it out.

There are several incongruencies in this plot.

well now I killed Metzger, planted two packs of dynamite and high-tailed it out of The Den, came back and his room was covered in blood. Still a lot of slavers around though.

>>153896685
>There are several incongruencies in this plot.

There are several incongruities with your face!

...but yeah, it would need tidying up, with a plot where the Enclave officers end up bewildered as the surviving humans rally around these power armored saviors, and in the end we end up with something akin to the Mid-Western Brotherhood, or Autumns vision, rather than them going through with the FEV plot. It would make a great fanfic that I'm never going to get around to writing.

Horribly overrated tbqh.

It's hardly an "open world" like Fallout 3/NV is, because it's a batch of small areas with shittons of loading screens because the areas feel tight and restricted, only CoP did open world right.

The FPS part of the game is average, the guns handling in SoC is shit, the way difficulty is handled is stupid especially in CS and CoP.

Really the only things that make the game good are the atmosphere, world, enemies and mods, yeah don't fall for the "vanilla is good" meme because it isn't. The RPG elements are barely comparable to Fallout's.

Sounds like you go a superiority complex friend, STALKER isn't made for Ukrainians only.

>>153921773
the games are very different but you can't deny that there are some pretty big similarities, especially with new vegas
1)post apocalyptic setting caused by nuclear disasters
2)radiation and mutants are common in both
3)FPS with some RPG elements vs RPG with some FPS elements (NV)
4)survival elements (hardcore mode)
5)for both the best armor is some kind of power armor
6)different kinds of ammo and weapon upgrades
in fact the gauss rifle in STALKER is a homage to FO2, and there are a BOZAR and a .223 pistol hidden in the files.
just why it bothers you that much that somebody could like both is just weird.

>>153921773
The best mods for STALKER were made by westerners or involved westerners
The only slav mod I can think of that's not total shit is AMK, wich is the only thing they ever did right. But god damn did they did it right.
The rest are slav meme mods and such

>>153922007
there are plenty of quests, but they're not so satifying as NV
They usualy involve go to this place and loot until you find thing or
kill that thang
or check out this area and kill everything inside

>>153907110

He just wanted to make a better society, Anon. A society with no differences, and whose people were hardy enough that they didn't have to kill each other for living space.

>>153911193

There's a few weapon rebalance mods, but nothing that comes highly recommended for 1 or 2. Tactics has the Redux mod, which people seem to like, but personally I think it's crap.

>best stalker mods were made by Westerners
Oh wow, care to name them?
>inb4 shitty weapon packs and vaporware like Priboi, Lost Alpha, Misery, TFW

Meanwhile:

>the best weapon pack that is being developed (Gunslinger) is made by Russians
>AMK, enough said
>NLC
>RMA
>OGSM/OGSE

Lurk more, newcomer faggot, before you shit yourself in front of the public. All of the mods made by Slav community shit over anything done by Westerners. There are more hidden gems that came out in recent years, which bring in new maps and alter the story, while also adding some interesting gameplay features. Westerners did fuck all for when it comes to complete mods. I'll give you a credit for CoC though, even though it's just assets ported to new engine.

>>153923054
Misery pre 2.0, LURK, AA
>Gunslinger
>ever coming out
>OGSE
>Not bloated and shitty gunplay
>Ray of Hope
>Not dead
>RMA
>Not just a before release LA minus the OC donut steal shit
NLC isn't available in English so I can't judge it

I'll give you Shoker and AMK, but somebody is working on weapon soup wich will overtake Shoker

>>153922240
stalker isn't actually post-apocalyptic, though.

it's post disaster
you dumb faggots

I thought this was Fallout general?

Next you guys are gonna start talking about Fallout 4....

>>153924632
fuck off nigger, we got sidetracked
so what

>>153924596
>semantics
you may be right, but the whole game world (e.g. anything the player is gonna see) is affected by the disaster, so there is no practical difference.
inb4 >but the military is present
yeah they are just another faction in the disaster area

>>"Blind Diode Jefferson, with sounds the Courier brought him, created a symphonic counter-frequency that saved Big MT from sonic invasion in 2910. If you didn't hear about it - good."
This, along with the rest of the OWB ending slides, reads so much like the ending to a thousand college movies with the text indicating what happened to them afterwards, like the fat one getting some hot girlfriend or something.

Heard alot of bad things, also heard they're among us. I don't really care either way, as long as they share my hatred for weebs and waifu virg scum they're okay in my book.

Bethesda didn't make a Fallout game. Bethesda made "Post apocalyptic adventure" game, but didn't have their own ideas, so they bought an existing franchise and only took the parts they liked, ie vaults, and stole other ideas because they didn't have their fucking own, IE other fev/super mutants, enclave/brotherhood of steel, then shat on the original series while plastering the fallout name onto their shitty game.

3 and 4 should just be ignored in the real fallout universe or just seen as a shitty alternate universe of fallout, nothing more. Their opinions and what is and isn't cannon should just be shat upon just like they did on the series.

I mean feel free to turn your brain off and have some fun in those games, but don't go comparing them to the originals because it's pointless.

I think it's extremely funny.
In canon, Myron's invention of Jet was completely forgotten.
And now in real life, seems like everyone at Bethesda also forgot about Myron.

Poor Myron, all he wanted was some Chosen One pussy, now he's dead.

>>153906861
Slowpokku but I actually did lose them all in Mariposa or on the way to it due to said mutant patrols.

I got really tired of restarting the game just to have one of them die 10 seconds after reloading.

>>153923054
What about CoC? It was made by westerners, frogs I think.

>>153907110
Kinda, I thought he was an evil asshole but he really did believe he was doing the best thing for mankind. Too bad pretty much everything went wrong for him.

Mom?
